I've been away from the computer this week. The main two reasons for that has been a) I've had a test week (again!) and b) I've been at Meo's the whole week.
He requested that I should do some blogging, and now I will. Nothing long, just telling a bit about my week..
Monday was an pretty unneccessary day, because I went to school to 12 and only had driving school. And Meo came to school and I got a ride to our home. Chilling at home and then going back to my parents for a 10 hour sleep. (Oh, and Nips had her real Birthday!)
Tuesday was as chill as Monday. I began at 12:45, and only had a writing course. Of course the teacher wasn't at school so I could had skipped it.. -.-" Then I went to Meo's with train..
Wednesday. Hmm.. I had Writing (teacher still gone) and then Swedish.. lame day, went to Meo's..
Thursday, I had an essay test in Swedish. I think it went pretty well. Then I had a lesson in English.. I went to Meo, chatted with Nips and baked chocolate and blueberry cupcakes :)
Today I had test in English, an essay test about some famous english novels and authors (You had to analyse a lot.) I hope it went well :) Later I had geograpichs and almost slept through the lesson..
Now I've cleaned, been bad and dissapointed, eaten delicious food and packed my bag for a weekend at Meos. Love love love.
I hope you enjoy your Weekend!
Big Hugs!

These days
So it's monday and that means business as usual again.
Today the kids saw an opportunity in switching from winter time to summer time and managed to sneak the clock forwards with almost ten minutes. Sadly for them i once again noticed their mishievous plan and as the lessons end loomed closer i kept on insisting that what we were doing was so important they just had to finnish it before they could go out (all the while i secretly kept track on what the time actually was with my wrist watch). My pupils, being reliable and hard working as always, kept with it (most probalbly just so they wouldn't be caught) and only when the watch showed ten past the actual time for the break to start i told them they could go out. Of course this was where they thought they'd be able to cut some slack with their little trick since the first attempt failed. So they decided to ask if they'd get a longer break. My answer was simple and short, a no. After a few disappointed shouts (they're really good actors i tells ya), and failed attempts from them to argue for a longer break, i looked at them and asked them if they really thought I never tried to fiddle with a school clock to trick the teacher into giving a longer break.
Every time they try to trick me with something like that it just makes me smile. The way the whole group plays together just to make something work is great. No one ever blows their cover just to be the teachers pet (they do know that's a sure way to make me mad as hell) and no one ever blames someone else for messing something up. They really did earn their party on wednesday.
The afternoon in turn went by really slowly and nicely, after tossing a friend home while fetching the girl from her driving lesson. I really don't remember a monday this great in ages. The reason is simple though, we just spent the whole evening together with Jonna, enjoying good food and snacks and just generally not giving a damn about everything called school and work and instead just taking it easy, real easy.
On this weeks to-do list is writing up a test, writing an angry letter to the main kitchen (which is at another school altogether), send in my school and job applications and help out with a little bit of english. That's pretty much it.
Good night and good luck!

Gimme some lovin'
We're blogging here together on the sofa, while watching Finnish Idols. This weekend has been very lovely, we've learnt to live.
Yesterday we had Meos younger sister visiting us, and we just have taken it easy, eating delicious food (made by me...)
But, I'll give this computer over to Meo. (:
Oh yeah. So living for the fullest. I guess Jonna said the most in short but what she didn't mention was our friday eve with an awesome party over at Nips. I got a chance to test out my new DJ gear and just generally have a fun time. And we even got to meet our friend Serppis. :D
Oh and the i've got to enjoy the best possible food again today. Jonna made us some awesome pasta carbonara and there's much enough of it to last for half the week. Yeah, im a happy man!
Here's a borrowed picture of the evening.

Anarchy for all!
Tuesdays are what i call the fourthgraders day. Its the day when i have most of the day with them and only two last lessons with my fifthgraders together with the sixthgraders in PE. One of the lessons though was spent trying to bash some morals into a firstgrader who seems to have a tough time with him being in school. Fortunately i can trust my own class enough to just give them five seconds of directions and then let them work for themselves, i think they actually liked to work in peace for once instead of having a waving and shouting teacher there all the time.
Later on i caused a slight commotion as i told my fifthgraders that they get to keep a party for succceeding so well in their math tests (something i had promised them earlier). It was a close call for them but thanks to one of the more challenged kids managing well in his own test they passed. They were ofcourse really happy but as usually there were plenty of other kids at the school who got jealous. Our school is "candy free zone" and i had told my pupils that they get to bring snacks but not candy but of course the other kids immeadetly thought they'd get to bring candy. And just to mess with them every time they asked me why the fifth graders were allowed to bring candy i just told them that i am the king in my class and i make the rules. Never did i even by mistake tell them that they actually wouldn't be allowed to bring candy.
At the end of the school day i just couldn't say no when some of the kids came up with the idea of masking themselves as clothes in the clothes rack as well as on the floor to spook the other kids who would go fetch their jackets.
All in all a pretty usual day for me and my class. Good work, great fun. I know i tend to be pretty demanding and strict but i guess it pays off at the end always.
After work i went to fetch Jonna and we went to our friend Nips for a cup of coffee and to quickly make a check audio connections for some upcoming partying. While there we made friends with their dog and so the day turned to evening and it wasn't until sorta late that we left. Before saying goodnight and cruising home me and Jonna went for some hamburgers, icecream and an evening stroll and just generally had a wonderful time.
And yeah, this picture is shamelessly ripped off Nips. Good pictures i gotta admit though. Now to close down the computer after a few rounds of MOW, which also turned pretty humorous, and into a great tomorrow.
Good night and good luck!

Go to bed!
Well i gotta admit it's a while since i last posted. And really, i don't have any reason why it's taken so long again since there's actually been a good deal of stuff going on. At this very moment im sitting in the kitchen, just having left Alan Wake at the beginning of the last chapter, thinking back at the past weeks and how great life once again has seemed to be despite all kinds of more mundane troubles.
At work i've started a war for better school food as well as whole deal of smaller projects. My students in turn are doing equally great with the whole class improving evenly. Maths in particular has seemed to benefit of this. But yeah, speaking of school food, i guess it's enough said to mention that the war broke out when i didn't get salad to my lunch. Yupp, definitely worth to start a riot for. I'll post more of the story as it progresses this week.
Im not sure if this sudden burst of energy might have its origins in the fact that i haven't had any gigs for two weeks but i doubt it since even DJing has gotten way more interesting again and i'm itching to get my hands on a new controller i ordered, NI S2, meanwhile having practiced a few new tricks to use in my workflow. Im actually pretty anxiously waiting for more gigs since the controller scene for DJs took another huge leap forward last week and i plan to catch up to that train somewhere along the spring once i've gotten a good overlook over the incoming S2.
And like Jonna wrote, dog fever caught me too. Actually earlier tonight we spent a good deal of time over at my parents place (since one of my sisters had her birthday) and argued over what kind of dog would best fit in with our life. The converseation got loud as usually and we noticed that we were still talking really loud, nearly shouting, to eachother when we drove away from there. You really have to be slightly bonkers to survive a common evening conversation with my parents and sisters. It's going to take a while before there's any point in starting to look for a dog for us but it's still nice to think about the future and prepare a little bit.
Anyhow, time to finnish my late night hamburger and head to catch some sleep for a few hours.

Shake it!
It's a normal Saturdayevening, I'm blogging while Meo is playing some random war game with some dudes. I ignore the noise he makes by listening to old music from 2007-2008. How young I've been back then! I've replayed this song like 200 times :D
It has been a very relaxed day, I made us some food, We wen't to the store, cleaning the house (a lot!)... the usual weekend. (Although we saw like 6-7 persons we knew only on the way to the store and back...)
Now I should finish my pizza, close off this MacBook Pro (never used one before) and soon go to sleep. Tomorrow is also a chill day, cleaning and school work, some workout and so on.
PS. Me and Meo have fallen in love in this dog breed Samoyed. We want one, and fast (: <3 !!!

School.
Okay. So, no life here, I've been busy. (And Meo too..) Now I'm sitting in school, on a writing course which is the last thing for today. Blogging is writing right? (Really I have no inspiration for writing the actual assignment).
I'm listening to Nightwish new album Imaginaerum, it's cool. Anyway, I don't really have inspiration for blogging either, but I thought an update would be alright. :D
Later today is still open, let's see what happens. All I know is that I've read the book I'm supposed to read, and I don't have any homework. SCORE!
But I should start writing on my school assignment, so I don't leave it to the last minute again.

Photomania nr. I
Okay, I really don't feel sleepy anymore, so I thought I could post the pictures, right?

| Hah, I'm proud of theese. |
 |
| Our Bonsai (Ramon, I know it doesn't look like one.. I really didn't know how to cut it :D) |
Yea, I could perhaps take more photos tomorrow. I love our livingroom, it's just so calm and warm. Still, right now it feels a bit empty because I'm alone in here.
Now, I'll try to go and get some sleep before Meo comes. I Miss Him.

The lion sleeps tonight.
Well hello there. It's been a very silent week, I'm sorry.
Now, I just wanted to let you know that everything is alright here, and the spring is on its way.
I'm blogging, Meo is at work at Bella (DJ-ing) and I'm supposed to sleep here all alone. It's a bit scary, this house has a lot of weird noises, and I'm not sure if I'm able to get any sleep before Meo comes home at 4:30 am.
Anycase, I'll be going now, I'll to post up some pictures we promised to post earlier, perhaps tomorrow, when Meo still is asleep. (:
Goodnight everyone!
